Overview

Ships with Ship Skins are variations of their standard counterparts. They usually are in the colors of a certain faction or corporation.

There are currently two types of skinned ships:

• Special Edition Ships: Ships that were handed out as gifts by CCP for certain events or via certain codes
• Paint Job Ships: Ships that were painted by Players with a Paint Job Blueprint Copy

It is very important to note that those "vanity ships" have the same attributes, fitting regulations and skill requirements as their "naked" counterparts. This means they are just cosmetic changes in the game. They are not to be confused with the T2 variants or pirate/navy variants of ships, even if some of them are identified as "Faction" ships with the green corner in their info picture.

All of the ships that are considered as "ship skins" are technically different ships although CCP stated that they want to eventually change it if the Ship Painting Pilot Program is a success.

Paint Job Ships

With Rubicon 1.3 CCP Games introduced a Ship Painting Pilot Program. This is a new mechanic that allows players to paint their ships with a BPC

Special Edition Ships

CCP handed out a variety of ships in the past. They were either given as present to all active players during Christmas Events or EVE's birthday celebrations or via codes that you could obtain via Flyers at player gatherings or trade fairs. There are also ships that could be obtained as pre order bonus or as a gift when you subscribed to the game or got someone else to subscribe.

Types and how to identify them

All of these ships are either Shuttles, Frigates, Destroyers or Industrials.

All of the ships have the green faction logo in the top left corner of their picture.

All of the ships have first the Faction name, followed by the ship type. For example Sarum Magnate or Miasmos Quafe Ultra Edition.
